The 17th and 48th seconds are highlighted, symbolizing the year 1748, the birthdate of this Liège native. A subtle but significant detail anchored in time, which pays homage to the indelible legacy of this great figure in watchmaking.
The names of the watchmaking descendants since Dieudonné Hubert Sarton are engraved on the case, paying homage to several generations of know-how and heritage.

The Sarton 1748 commemorative watch pays tribute to the avant-garde spirit of Hubert Sarton, visionary watchmaker and inventor of the winding rotor in 1778, a system still in use today and recognized by Patek Philippe. This timepiece embodies the indelible mark left by Sarton on watchmaking history, both in Liège and internationally. The result of a collaboration between the direct heirs, Alain and Nicolas Sarton (7th and 8th generation), and Col&MacArthur, it is inspired by one of the watchmaker's most coveted clocks. A watch that, through every detail, pays tribute to innovation, local heritage, and the timeless art of watchmaking.
